%X The Guaymas Basin (GB) is a highly productive region in the Gulf of California. Subseafloor sedimentary amorphous bio-opal and Ba/Ti records obtained from its northwestern and central areas reveal significant changes in exported productivity over the past 31,200 years. Millennial-scale variability reflects the influence of wind-driven upwelling, mesoscale eddies, and shifts in climate variability operating at orbital, millennial, and centennial timescales. Spatial heterogeneity in productivity recorded in International Ocean Discovery Program boreholes highlights regional differences in process dominance. We identify seven distinct productivity phases: From similar to 31,200 to similar to 26,500 cal yr BP, laminated sediments indicate strong seasonal variability and high productivity due to intense upwelling activity caused by northwesterly winds linked to a southward-shifted Intertropical Convergence Zone. The Last Glacial Maximum, from similar to 26,500 to similar to 19,000 cal yr BP., displayed pronounced fluctuations and a slight decline in productivity compared to the previous interval, owing to the reduced influence of the North Pacific High on the GB during this period. From similar to 19,000 to similar to 11,700 cal yr BP, there were shifts of high and low productivity, with opal minima coinciding with Heinrich events 2 and 1, as well as the Younger Dryas. Productivity declined slightly between similar to 11,700 and similar to 7,000 cal yr BP, featuring a short high-productivity period within that timespan (similar to 10,500 to similar to 10,300 cal yr BP). From similar to 7,000 to similar to 4,200 cal yr BP, productivity decreased in the NW and increased in the central basin. This contrast reflects enhanced winter-spring coastal wind-driven upwellings and reduced eddy activity in the west. From similar to 4,200 to similar to 130 cal yr BP, productivity increased in both studied areas. The sedimentary Ba/Ti values in both holes generally indicate lower levels during the cold glacial period and higher levels during the warm interglacial period, suggesting reduced biological barite accumulation and less organic matter export from the surface under cold climate conditions. These changes correspond to documented climate transitions, highlighting GB's sensitivity to global forcings (e.g., ice sheet retreat) and regional ocean-atmosphere interactions. Our findings underscore the key role of dynamic physical processes in shaping long-term productivity patterns in marginal seas at high resolution.
